Cooler Thursday With Beneficial Rain

More clouds and showers will spread across the state keeping afternoon temperatures down into the low 80s.

An area of low pressure will slide northeast along a stationary front in Tennessee, pushing moisture north, across the entire area for Thursday and Friday, into the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will provide a good bit of drought relief across the entire area from Thursday through Sunday. Spotty showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast early next week, although they'll cover less ground as clouds slowly depart. Highs will be in the lower 80s during the end of the week, and then we'll recover into the more seasonable middle and eventually upper 80s early next week. Highs will peak near 90° on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
